After Qin Xiao finished dinner that night, he said to Su Xiaoman, "I want to go back." ”

After Su Xiaoman heard this, he was a little lost, he had just arrived here, although he no longer cared about the stalk of the year, but when he heard Qin Xiao say this, he couldn't help asking:

"What's the matter, is it because I'm here?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Of course I'm happy for you to come here, it's not that I won't come back when I go back, but I'm going to find something, and I'll be back in a week at most." ”

When Su Xiaoman heard this, he couldn't help but blame himself for thinking too much, so he said: "You just go, I'm no problem watching the child here, and it saves a lot of trouble." ”

Qin Xiao couldn't help but wonder and said, "I'm still a drag to say this." ”

Su Xiaoman smiled: "Of course, because I'm not here, I don't have to cook for you." ”

Qin Xiao laughed, and then said solemnly: "Xiao Man, let me ask you, don't you really blame me?" ”

Xiao Man smiled: "Blame you, it's just that everyone has their own things to do, so I also know that no one will completely let go of everything for the sake of another person, such as the affairs of your Qin family, you can't avoid it, even if you want to avoid it, you can't avoid it in vain." ”

Qin Xiao was a little moved, and said, "Then you don't have any reward here, are you happy?" ”

Su Xiaoman said: "Are you here for two thousand yuan a month?" ”

Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I'm wrong, I'll leave tomorrow and come back in a week, I'll leave it to you here, the most important thing is to help Ma Yunduo's grandfather change the medicine and tell him to take the medicine on time." ”

Su Xiaoman said with a smile: "Who are you and me, there are so many details about a matter, it's really a lot of nonsense." ”

Qin Xiao still had a hippie smile on his face and said: "The two of us are not outsiders, since we are insiders, oh no, since we are good friends, I can rest assured of you." That's what I said. ”

The next day, Qin Xiao simply packed his luggage, and after clearing his vacation with Lao Ma, he went to say goodbye to Su Xiaoman. Su Xiaoman said: "Go early and return early, what are you still doing here in the cold?" ”

Qin Xiao saw that Su Xiaoman actually blocked everything he wanted to say in one sentence, so he said lightly: "Xiaoman, thank you." ”

After speaking, Qin Xiao put on his backpack. Walk towards the outside of the mountain village.

Qin Xiao was still walking on the bumpy mountain road for a day before finally getting out of Luxi, because Qin Xiao was in a hurry to go back, so he didn't go back to the county to visit his aunt and uncle, so two days to make up the knife, Qin Xiao arrived in Hedong Village, where he had been away for nearly half a year.

When he returned to the old mansion, it was already night, and he didn't want to alarm anyone, so he didn't open the electric switch, but settled down in the dark.

In fact, Qin Xiao was originally going to rest for a night to act, but he really couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart. When I heard what Ma Yunduo's grandfather said about the old man Xie Yunhai, I vaguely felt it. After Meng Haichang was driven into the mountains and forests, Xie Yunhai was separated because of the change, and although he used the secret recipe after that, he did not get a way to hand over the secret recipe to the national government, and from Meng Haichang's tone, he didn't want to give the secret recipe to the boss at all, but wanted to return the recipe. Qin Xiao gave this judgment, feeling that he would have to go to the Qiu family's secret cave to find clues.

At this time, Xiyu Village was already an ordinary village, and Qiu Hengshui had no son, so the family friendship between the Qin family and the Qiu family only went to Qiu Hengshui.

Qin Xiao decided to explore the Qiu family's secret cave at night. This is to prevent more people from knowing their whereabouts, especially the Zhang family, who will not find out that they have returned.

Qin Xiao took the flashlight he had prepared and set out on the road alone. He didn't contact anyone. I walked alone towards this familiar and unfamiliar mountain village deep in the mountains.

I waded across the Daixi River, walked for another hour, and finally came to the mouth of the mountain village. Qin Xiao didn't know how many times he had walked this way, but this time he walked again, and he felt heavy and abnormal in his heart. His father walked by, his grandfather walked by, Qin Zhihong and Qin Ruiming, the two ancestors, I don't know how many times they have walked, when they walked, they really felt that they were walking on the journey pioneered by the Qin family.

Qin Xiao knew that Xiyu Village only had the only entrance under the mountain pass, but at this time there was no longer the previous sentry, so Qin Xiao quietly walked into Xiyu Village, directly bypassing the village in the north and arriving at the southern slope.

This is now the cemetery of Xiyu Village, and Qin Xiao carefully searched for each cave on the hillside according to the account in his family tree. In fact, many caves that have been used as tombs, Qin Xiao is a medical student in time, and he is a retired soldier, so he has faced the dead, and he has also faced the living and become dead, and he is not afraid of this at all.

Qin Xiao searched each cave along the hillside, and found a very secret cave in a place covered by grass. Qin Xiao saw that this cave was a deserted cave and had not been used, so he estimated that it was either because the entrance of the cave was too big, and secondly, it was probably because it was not his own cave, so it was also abandoned.

Qin Xiao walked in and saw nothing, but saw a lot of sheep dung and cow dung, he knew that many people in this mountain village raised livestock, and Song Qinsheng's old man was like this, and it was normal for sheep herders to rest here.

Outside, Qin Xiao didn't dare to turn on the flashlight, walked into the cave, and turned on the lights. Taking a closer look through the bright light, Qin Xiao found that it was indeed very smooth in the depths of the cave, so he took out the prepared simple shovel, which he made after his weapons when he was in the army, and then slowly threw the soil away.

About half an hour later, Qin Xiao really opened a stone slab, he couldn't help but get excited, so he carefully used a shovel to lift the stone slab, and then released the dead air inside, Qin Xiao tried the safety inside with a candle It was already very good, Qin Xiao then tied the rope and climbed down.

According to the records in the genealogy he read, Qin Xiao found the small box from the location of the inner cave, but he found that the box was rotten, so he peeled off the rotten wood and saw the foil that was released to prevent insect bites. Qin Xiao carefully opened the foil, and to his surprise, it turned out to be a letter.

Qin Xiao couldn't wait to open the envelope, and what he saw was an extremely old stationery, Qin Xiao opened the letterhead, and there were only a few short sentences inside:

"I wanted to put the secret recipe back in its original form, but I was afraid that the festival would grow branches, so I left a letter here, if I wanted to get the real recipe, I would see it on Wutai Mountain. - Meng Haichang"

Qin Xiao only knew at this time that this person was the monk that Ma Yunduo's grandfather said, and it was indeed a monk from Wutai Mountain. Qin Xiao was very excited when he got this information, so he climbed out of the cave with his new home, sealed it as it was, and went down the mountain.

Along the way, Qin Xiao remembered that he had been attacked on the way to change Song Qinsheng's medicine at night, and couldn't help but laugh, probably because he was in a good mood, he ran all the way, and in less than an hour, he regretted the old house of the Qin family in Hedong Village.

But Qin Xiao was also afraid of being discovered by the Zhang family, so he set off at dawn, went to the county seat to make the earliest morning train to the provincial capital, and then transferred to the train to rush directly to Luxi.

But along the way, the most time-consuming thing is the journey, in the past few days, Qin Xiao has not rested well because of the fatigue of the journey and the disturbed thoughts, and he fell asleep on the train after a while.

But Qin Xiao was in a haze, always feeling that someone was staring at him, in fact, this was not a sixth sense, but his own sensitive thinking, when he was sleeping on his stomach, among the passers-by, there was always the sound of a pair of leather shoes back and forth, which made him immediately raise his vigilance.

Because Qin Xiao could hear it from the many sounds, when the leather shoes hit the ground, there would always be a muffled sound of rubber rubbing against the floor. If he hadn't been asleep, he wouldn't have noticed, because after all, the sound of the train would have masked some of the movement, but he was lying on the table, which was connected to the floor, and he was lying on the table and pretending to sleep, but he could distinguish the footsteps clearly.

Qin Xiao thought to himself, could it be that he was targeted by the Zhang family? But I don't have to worry about it, I once met Zhang Zhengguo's bodyguards in the mountains, and I played them around, and at this time on the train, they didn't dare to act rashly. But Qin Xiao suddenly felt that it was better to let them show up at this time, take the initiative to startle the snakes, and see what the purpose of these people was.

So Qin Xiao continued to lie on his stomach, quietly waiting for the arrival of this footstep, and sure enough, after five minutes, this footstep appeared again, he hurriedly got up, pretended to yawn, and then looked at the back of the person who had walked past and was locked by himself, and shouted:

"This brother, if you don't have a seat, why don't you come and sit with me?"

I only heard the person turn around and smile: "Okay, then thank you." ”

The man was a man in his early twenties, of medium height, and he didn't know where he was by listening to the accent, and he couldn't tell the origin by looking at his appearance, but he always had some indescribable sense of mystery.

Qin Xiao saw that no one around him noticed the two of them, so he said straight to the point:

"I don't know what you're staring at me, brother?"

The man was puzzled for a moment, then regained his sense of mystery and said, "How do you know?" ”

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "I'm a scout, if I don't even know that I'm being targeted, then I'm too wasteful." ”

The man laughed twice and said, "It's really amazing, so do you know who I am?" What are you staring at? ”

Qin Xiao said frankly: "I don't know, but I know that you are eyeing me, this time I invited you to come over to talk about it, just to ask the truth." ”

The man laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not hurting you, I'm here to help you, I'll tell you the truth, but this place is not a place to talk, so let's get to your destination together Now it seems that there are less than two hours to drive." ”

Qin Xiao was puzzled: "Do you know my destination?" ”

"Yes." The man continued, "Isn't it just the most remote mountain village on the edge of a small county town? (To be continued.) )
